Frequently asked questions
Who are Bobby & Frank?
They're our resident DIRECTV aficionados who loved to sit on satellite dishes. Now that DIRECTV is satellite-free, they're our fun way of showing that we've moved beyond the dish, meaning they'll have to adapt too.
How do Bobby & Frank feel about DIRECTV's new dishless direction?
They were a bit ruffled at first. But finally, they see the light (or should we say, the screen). Now they're all about embracing the satellite-free life, even if it means finding new perches.
Can Bobby & Frank still watch their favorite shows?
Absolutely! They've traded their satellite dish view for a front-row seat right by the window. Now they never miss a beat, or a tweet, from their favorite shows.
What do Bobby & Frank do now that DIRECTV is satellite-free?
They've become TV connoisseurs and are enjoying a bird's-eye view of all the action that DIRECTV has to offer —without the satellites.
